Mr.. Daniel Manning, the first Secretary
OF the Treasury under President Cleveland,
Issued a monthly debt statement on the lst
Of April which closes with the folio wing:
1.-THE foregoing is correct statement OF
the public debt, as appears from the Books
and Treasurer's Returns IN the Treasury De.
partment on the close of business March
81, 1855"
From that we extract the following table
in the form IN which 1t appears:
Debt (princlpaD. D............,.". 1873, 1856

loeD'...''.......... ...,.....",'.'," 15O2 5V,lSi
These two items, 1851, ,l50, ,165 and $22,.
50,025, make what Secretary Manning
states was the cash In the treasury OF
April !, the total being 1898, 400, 100. Thi.
is only si,242,758 more than !the amount
Secretary Manning states in his report t.
Congress was in the treasury on the 4th o
March when he took charge; that is, 1919,
166,353.
The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN has at nj
time indorsed tho statement Of Secretar,
Manning as to the amount of money In th,
treasury when he took charge Of 1t. Ever,
time 1t has used these figures 1t has give,
Secretary Manning as authority for them
1t has endeavored to force from some Demo
cratic authority denial Of them.
Mr.. George NJ. Coffin, chief OF the division
Of issue in the office OF the comptroller o
the currency, puts himself forward to max
the denial. Mr.. Coffin declares that Mr.. Man
ming virtually told an untruth when b
stated, on page 12 of hlsreport to Congress
that the total cash In the treasury Marc
4, 1885, was 1870, l66, 1853, and that the col
rect figures were $496, 100000.
This is question OF veracity between Mr.
Coffin and .ex-Secretary Manning. At tn
time Mr.. Manning made his statement b
was under oath as an official OF the Unitet
States. He was on his honor as O gentle
man and a member OF the Cabinet, the onl
member, too, authorized and directed b
law to make report to Congress. Unde
these circumstances, Daniel Manning, SEE
retary of the Treasury, said there was Gel
tain amount Of 'cash In the Treasury.
Mr.. George NJ. Coffin says there was $l17
S33,0l6 more money there, and that MI
Manning misrepresented the financial cor
dition Of the United States to that amount
The political pressure OF the facts show
by the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN must b
terrific to induce this charge against one O
the ablest leaders OF the Democratic party
man who has sacrificed his health, II M
his life, for this administration.
We leave the public to determine whic
they will believe-ex- Secretary Manning
under oath, or Mr.. Coffin, as a newspapt
correspondent.

Mr.. Journal, what has braught about
this great changer 1t was nothing
but an over population; nothing but
the importing, by large companies, of

nothing. Mol never say come to Colo

CONE West, YOUNG man-and come

The editors of the Journal must be
foreigners or they surely would never
think of making such a call as the
above. Colorado is already over pop
ulated, as is every State III the Union.
If one third of the population of Colo
RADIO would pick up their gunny-sack
and "skip the country" we would be
greatly benefited by the act. The Ia
boring man would then bs able to
araiu receive wages on which he could
live. This State is like all others, if
man has a position, that pays q little,
there are a dozen others who want it
worse than he does, and are willing to
sacrifice themselves to starvation wages
and do two mems work in order to get
it. We hope the Journal will look
over this and then compare the wages
of the laboring man Of to-day with
those of even five or six years ago.
Then no man would lift a hammer to
strike a drill for less than three dollars
a day and board, and now he is glad
To ret two dollars and a quarter a day

see no sign of the widespread ruin and de-
vastation that the President saws threatens
u.s."
Representative FELTON, said: ''The Presi-
dent assumes certain propositions to be
facts, and from them draws his personal
conclusions. They are not conclusive TO
me, by any means. | think the message,
as a whole, is weak, and good campaign
document Tor the Republicans to meet on
the stump"
Mr.. Biggs said: II think the message is
good one. 1t defines our position on the
tariff conclsely and emphatically. | don't
ike what the President had to say about
wool. We raise great many sheep in
California, but with that exception l think
the message good one"
Mr.. Morrow said "The message
abounds simply in generalities. 1t con-
talns no specific recommendations for tariff
revision. As Democratic tariff speech.
delivered on the stump in the campaign,
1t would be admirable. As a message to
Congress, | regard it as failure"
Representative Thompson said: "The
message is strong one. 1t defines the
Presidents position on the tariff question.
and no matter what individual preferences
may be, it indicates the line of party lcgis-
latlon in Congress. | am pleased with the
brevity and directness of the document"
MIR. Nandever said: The message is
what might have been expected from a
President who is at heart opposed to the
principle of protection. 1t is a good rep
resentation of his side of the case. The
Republicans will be able to meet and an
swer every proposition he puts forth"

Judge Hornblower's Denunciation of SEN

eca Augustus Swain.
SAN Francisco, December 9th. This
afternoon Judge Hornblower disposed of
the case fSeneca Augustus Swain, charged
with having forged the name of DIR. r. H .
Mcdonald to five certificates of Central Pa
clhc stock, by holding him to answer.
SAN Francisco, December 6th.-In hold
ing Swain to answer for the Mcdonald
fOrgeries to-day, Judge Hornbower thus
expressed himself: In the examination
of this case the evidence has developed
such state Of immortality and crime, con-
sisting OF adultery, perjury, larceny and
forgery, as is seldom brought to the judicial
noice in an examination. The defendant
in Los Angeles and in this city criminallv
cohabited with young mother and the
wife Of r. II. Mcdonald, Jr., showing that
he held her by an immoral power, enor-
nous, monstrous, and unparalleled in the
history OF American society or in the his
tory OF man; power over the being of
this woman that called her from her hus-
bands side, dragging her from her childs
side, and dragging her day by day from
place to place in order that he might graf
lily his lust; power that brought this
woman near to the shedding of human
blood; a power that compelled her to rob
her husband; to utter forged certificates of
stock and give him the proceeds of her
crime. 1t seems TO me the old chivalry of
California is ebbing, or Seneca A. Swain
would not be in a Court of Justice waiting
tor the law to punish him"
